Terms Used In Minnesota Statutes 508.61

  • Deed: The legal instrument used to transfer title in real property from one person to another.
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • state: extends to and includes the District of Columbia and the several territories. See Minnesota Statutes 645.44
  • Trustee: A person or institution holding and administering property in trust.

When a new trustee of registered land is appointed a new certificate of title shall be entered in the new trustee’s name upon presentation to the registrar of a certified copy of the decree or other instrument appointing the new trustee.

Subd. 3.Voluntary dissolution.

Where a corporate owner did adopt a resolution for voluntary dissolution pursuant to chapter 301, the registrar of titles shall enter a new certificate of title in the name of the trustee in dissolution upon presentation of a certified copy of the certificate setting forth the adoption of the resolution together with the certificate of the secretary of state that said certificate of dissolution has been filed for record in the secretary’s office.

Subd. 4.Same day filing; fees.

When an instrument showing such appointment or dissolution and a trustee’s deed are filed for registration on the same day, a new certificate of title may be entered in the name of the grantee or grantees and the memorial of such instrument shall have the same force and effect as though a certificate of title had been entered in favor of the trustee; the fees, however, for registration to be the same as would be the case if a certificate of title were entered in the name of the trustee.
